The McKenzie (1958) bioassay remains the principal tool for studying the long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) and LATS-protector (LATSP), although radioreceptor binding assays are being developed (Manley, Bourke & Hawker, 1974; Smith & Hall, 1974). A dog biscuit met the low-iodine requirements until 1974, when batches contained sufficient iodine to make them unsuitable for use in this bioassay. Bread contains negligible iodine, unless iodated dough conditioner is added (London & Vought, 1965). Thus an investigation was made of the suitability of bread for use in the McKenzie bioassay.
Female, white Swiss mice were bred as described by Loy & Broadhead (1968), the colony being fed on pasteurized breeding diet (Oxoid Ltd). Mice were weaned at 4 weeks, fed on diet 86 (Oxoid Ltd) until body weights were 15–20 g (i.e. usually for 1–2 weeks),
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
